Whew, what a year! The past 12 months have been challenging in unexpected ways, but I’ve grown so much through them. It’s also been a year full of beautiful lessons and time spent developing my relationship with my kids. I’ve felt like I’ve been in a cocoon this past year, putting travel on hold and enjoying being at home with my family.
In this episode, I’ll talk about general life updates, what I’ve been working on behind the scenes, and what my top health focuses were. I’ll also get into some upcoming changes to Wellness Mama and what you can expect for the new year. I have some exciting projects upcoming and I can’t wait to share them with you!
I hope you’ll join me for a time of reflection, insight, and a look to the year ahead!
